Can you touch respect? Can you feel it? Is respect tangible? Respect is something we cherish. We grasp at it as if it were the tattered strings of life. The scariest realization of all is the conclusion that respect has become the "key" to life. Why do we feel the need to protect respect? Why does it seem so obscure and rare? As if us, the human race, such smart and intellectual beings, have forgotten the importance of feeling safe. Respect is among the building blocks of happiness.
